This Freelance Insights interview features business mentor Ceels Lockley.

I can’t remember how I first connected with Ceels, but ever since we did, I’ve felt as though we’re kindred spirits or long-lost sisters. Ceels lives in the East Midlands, which is where I lived for years when I was at university and after I graduated when I started work. Like me, she’s a Virgo and is very organised; she loves to plan and loves to set goals.

This Freelance Insights interview features mindset and confidence coach Amy Leighton.

While my signature mentoring programme is called Charge with Confidence, it’s very much about the confidence you gain from having done the pricing calculations in your business to really understand the numbers. I’m not an expert in the mindset side of things, so I thought it would be interesting to speak to someone who is!

Amy has a free quiz on her website that gives you a better understanding of your mindset and comes with a personalised action report to help you start overcoming any obstacles you might be facing. You can find the link to Amy’s quiz here.
